Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

I don’t want to lay massive numbers with an Indiana Pacers side that hasn’t played great through 3 games, but I have little choice. The Denver Nuggets have been arguably the worst team in Vegas, as the offense has been downright awful, averaging 75 points on 36.8 percent shooting. At this point, guys on the Nuggets probably just want to go home and get out of this nightmare. The Indiana Pacers have been hit or miss defensively, but they’ve been able to shoot a healthy percentage across the board. If anything holds true, the Pacers should roll on Thursday afternoon comfortably.
